Thoughts on Rosh Hashana

The Jewish New Year is always on the 1st of the 7 month of the Jewish Calendar, known as the 1st of Tishrei. It is Biblically ordained as noted at 29:1, where it says, uvachodesh hashvi'i b'echad lachodesh. The Torah goes on to say that it is a day of blasting. But where do get the theme about judgment and mercy from the Bible? Actually we see an allusion based on Gematria. The Gematria of the above phrase is 1074. Other words with the same number include Toras Chaim, or the Torah of Life. This phrase is said in the silent prayer.

1074 is also the gematria of the verse in  psalms 103:13, where it says, "As a father who has mercy over his children, so the Lord has mercy over those that fear him."  

This teaches us that the scholars of the Bible knew that this is an auspicious time for our prayers to be accepted.
